To be read only
by critical thinkers with a strong
heart.
The times and cultures in which the Bible
was written had an influence on it's content.
Likewise, the times and cultures in which the
Bible is read (such as ours), has an
influence
on it's interpretation. The Bible is steeped
in the cultures and traditions of it's time.
Our interpretation is steeped in the cultures
and traditions of our time. Somewhere hidden beneath all
this cultural influence and tradition, is the
profound, pristine truth of God, waiting
patiently to be fully discovered. With this awareness,
how should we approach the Bible now?

Who translated the King James Bible?
In 1605, William Shakespeare
was 46 years old. The Bible was
translated for King James in 1604.
Turn to Psalm 46 and count to the 46th word.
The word is Shake.
Go to the end of this
Psalm and count back 46 words. The word is Spear.
Could this mean that
William Shakespeare translated the Bible for King James? You decide!
Here is a trick question:
What is the onething that;
~Is more powerful than God
~Is more evil than Satan
~Poor people have
~Rich people need
~If you eat it, you will die
